The swan was earlier reunited with its partner and cygnet after a crossbow bolt was removed from its chest and the animal was treated with antibiotics.
If you notice any future problems with the swan, phone Birds Auckland on 09 256 7300

Do you need to be firing all of your fireworks weeks or days in advance?
NO you don't!!
Do you need to be throwing them all over the place, just for ghits & shiggles?
NO - no one is laughing!!
I love a great fireworks display just as much as the next person, but it has now come time that there should only be professionally controlled fireworks displays now.
The recklessness and lack of consideration has become a thousand times worse of the last few years and the horrendously deafening noise from some of them - holy moly!!!

Locals are feeling “absolutely disgusted” at the suggestion that they are behind the incident, which involved a vandal felling eight street pōhutukawa trees with a chainsaw.
Paul and Sue Wilson, who have lived on the road for over 10 years, arrived home on Monday from a trip to Waiheke Island to find a line of felled trees and a curt hand-written note in their letterbox.

Emotions really exist, we are born with the basic ones hard wired into us. Anger, shame, disgust, desire…. all normal humans experience such emotions. If we have learned anything about the brain, we probably also believe that’s what the limbic system is all about, right?
What if this is all just wrong? Come along to hear about the latest research. Emotions are not things that happen to us, despite it really feeling that way sometimes! This talk is based on psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett's book: "How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain".
You will never think about emotions the same way again!

1. Provide a den or hiding place for your pet.
2. Use an ADAPTIL or FELIWAY Diffusers as close to the den or hiding place as possible, or where your pet spends most of its time.
3. Keep dogs and cats inside during fireworks and check that their microchip is up to date.
4. Walk your dog early in the evening or morning before fireworks start.
5. Ensure windows, doors and cat flaps remain closed during firework season to both prevent pets escaping and reduce the noise.
6. Ensure you cats have access to enough litter trays during firework season especially if you're keeping them inside.
7. Provide distractions, in the form of new toys and chews. Draw curtains and put the TV on to mask any noise.
8. DO NOT punish your pet! This will only make your pet more distressed.
9. Try not to leave your pets alone when fireworks are going off.
10. Continue to use ADAPTIL or FELIWAY after the party or fireworks season ends.

SPCA NZ says it is saddened and disappointed to hear Anthony Van Dyck had to be euthanised yesterday after suffering a fractured fetlock during the running of the cup at Flemington.
The horse received immediate veterinary care but was unable to be saved due to the nature of its injury.
The animal was loaded into an ambulance at the track but was put down soon after.
The SPCA said this tragic accident highlights the risks faced by horses participating in these races.
Anthony Van Dyck reportedly became the seventh horse to die on or as a result of Melbourne Cup day since 2013.
